	Code of Princess review (3DS) Reviewed on October 09, 2012 It’s easy to appreciate each of those characters, from the busty heroine, to the shifty young bard, to a disinterested necromancer and a brutish fellow who likes cuddly forest animals. There is enough charisma here to support a properly lengthy RPG, which means that one of the greatest tragedies in Code of Princess is the fact that the writers weren’t given time to more fully explore the themes and story.
	Zombie Shooter 2 review (PC) Reviewed on October 09, 2012 Even as a cheap thrill, Zombie Shooter 2 fails to impress, as its unwarranted frustration factor will leave you looking for a more intense and less irksome experience.
	Slender: The Eight Pages review (PC) Reviewed on October 08, 2012 When I think about my favorite fear moments in video games, the ones that come immediately to mind are those in which I’ve had no ability to fight. Escaping from the Nemesis in Raccoon City; pounding my way through rooms in the Himuro mansion while being pursued by the unstoppable Kirie; desperately fleeing horrifying visions in Amnesia; these define what I look for in a true horror experience. Those moments are all Slender is.
	Wonder Boy review (SMS) Reviewed on October 06, 2012 Ask any owner of the console if there were any franchises synonymous with the Master System, and you'll likely get Alex Kidd or Wonder Boy as your top answer.
	Illusion of Gaia review (SNES) Reviewed on October 05, 2012 In fact, the beginning of the game is pretty much one big cliche. Shortly after the game begins, Will unintentionally gets on the wrong side of the local king and queen and is forced to flee the area with the rulers' spoiled and naive daughter. Those two join up with a small group of Will's friends and explore the world to find mysterious artifacts and eventually save everything from a fate most dire. Pretty cut and dry on the surface, but as you dig deeper, you'll find that Illusion of Gaia wonderfully establishes a dark and melancholy mood that effortlessly moves this game far beyond being "just another adventure".
	Monster in My Pocket review (NES) Reviewed on October 05, 2012 Castlevania-lite.
	Clock Tower review (PSX) Reviewed on October 03, 2012 Clock Tower has some bite to it, mostly because you are not as enabled as Leon Kennedy or even Alan Wake. Your choice of heroes includes a school girl, her not-combat-trained friend, an investigator, and a reporter. In other words, you're screwed.
	Assassin's Creed: Revelations review (PS3) Reviewed on October 01, 2012 If you try hard enough, you can get past all of that and have a reasonably good time even without prior knowledge, but of course that’s not the point. If you play Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, the point is that you’ve come all this way with Ezio (and Altair), and now you want to find out their stories end. This is the game that will show you that stuff, and you’ll likely enjoy yourself quite a bit more if you actually care about the characters and the ongoing mythology.
	Soul review (X360) Reviewed on October 01, 2012 I wish I could further yammer on about Soul and its face-breaking difficulty, but the truth is it's a very simple, straightforward game. What you see is what you get. You guide a soul through passageways and try not to touch obstructions. This is familiar territory, as it has been covered by many a flash game.
	Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir review (3DS) Reviewed on September 29, 2012 As a tech demo, Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir is an excellent piece of programming, making extensive use of three of the Nintendo 3DS’s internal features: gyroscope, camera, and 3D. Too bad Nintendo did not price it like a tech demo. They priced it like a full game, with a $40 price-point.
	Gradius III review (SNES) Reviewed on September 29, 2012 Mangled. Stripped down. Butchered. One could easily choose these words to describe the SNES port of Gradius III, then go on to complain about missing segments, cut stages, and mass amounts of slowdown when the screen is packed with too many obstacles.
	Dead or Alive 5 review (X360) Reviewed on September 27, 2012 The petite Leifang no longer looks like she might easily win an arm wrestling contest against the hulking behemoth that is Bass, for instance, which lends encounters between certain characters some of the impact that they lacked previously. Even among the girls, newcomer Mila (a sexy and confident MMA boxer) appears much taller and lankier than diminutive scrappers such as Ayane and Pai. The female characters in particular seem to have received more detailed texture work, particularly where their arms are concerned, so that the models in Dead or Alive 4 seem almost like animated Barbie dolls in comparison.
	The Terminator review (SCD) Reviewed on September 26, 2012 We ended up with lame Terminator games for both the SNES and Genesis, perpetuating the belief that movie-based games always suck. But The Terminator for Sega CD is different. This isn't an enhanced port of the twenty-minute Genesis game -- it's a lengthy, redesigned adventure with plenty of action and hidden secrets throughout each stage, and it definitely does not suck.
	Wrecking Crew review (NES) Reviewed on September 22, 2012 Did you know those bouncing enemies are wrenches and not snakes? I didn't.
	River City Ransom review (NES) Reviewed on September 21, 2012 The main challenge for me when playing River City Ransom was simply surviving the trek between the second and third malls, as you have to travel through many screens and the easier gangs are weeded out in favor of ones that cause a lot more damage when their attacks connect. Lose your rhythm against The Generic Dudes and your life meter will barely notice; do so against The Squids and you'll quickly find yourself sent back to the last mall you reached, but with only half your money (the penalty for falling in battle).
	Transformers: Fall of Cybertron review (PC) Reviewed on September 20, 2012 At first glance, most modern gamers will think that this title is a pure copy of the Gears of War games, due to the similar interface and gameplay. You control your robots through the familiar over-the-shoulder look, and guide them through the world of Cybertron, using walls for cover and destroying various enemies with a large arsenal of weapons.
	Donkey Kong Jr. review (NES) Reviewed on September 19, 2012 BRB, going to Kickstarter a documentary called "Prince of Kong."
	Jet Set Radio review (PS3) Reviewed on September 18, 2012 I would love to love you, Jet Set Radio.
	Mindjack review (X360) Reviewed on September 16, 2012 If it wasn't for its gimmick, Mindjack could have been the most timid third-person cover shooter I've played in recent memory. The flow follows the formula with such generic conviction, going from segmented area to segmented area as you shoot off rounds from pistols and assault rifles against an endless supply of soldiers, cops, and shotgun-wielding astronauts (I honestly can't explain that last one) in a futuristic metropolis setting.
	Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition review (WII) Reviewed on September 16, 2012 While the classic content doesn’t benefit from the same attention to detail that Nintendo might once have lavished on it, however, there’s some new content that’s quite cool. When you first load up the game, you can check out a special mode that presents a timeline of the franchise. It lets you know what was happening in the world around the time that each title hit stores, and there’s also video of games in the series that weren’t included in this particular collection.
